1 I reče Gospod Mojsiju govoreći:

2 Posveti mi svakog prvenca, šta god otvara matericu u sinova Izrailjevih, i od ljudi i od stoke; jer je moje.

3 I Mojsije reče narodu: Pamtite ovaj dan, u koji iziđoste iz Misira, iz doma ropskog, jer vas rukom krepkom izvede Gospod odande; neka se dakle ne jede ništa s kvascem.

4 Danas izlazite, meseca Aviva;

5 Pa kad te Gospod uvede u zemlju hananejsku i hetejsku i amorejsku i jevejsku i jevusejsku, za koju se zakleo ocima tvojim da će ti je dati, zemlju u kojoj teče mleko i med, tada da služiš službu ovu ovog meseca;

6 Sedam dana jedi hlebove presne, a sedmi dan neka je praznik Gospodnji.

7 Hlebovi presni da se jedu sedam dana, i da se ne vidi u tebe ništa s kvascem, niti da se vidi u tebe kvasac u celom kraju tvom.

8 I kazaćeš sinu svom u taj dan govoreći: Ovo je za ono što mi je učinio Gospod kad sam izlazio iz Misira.

9 I neka ti bude kao znak na ruci tvojoj i kao spomen pred očima tvojim, da ti zakon Gospodnji bude u ustima; jer te je rukom krepkom izveo Gospod iz Misira.

10 Zato vrši zakon ovaj na vreme, od godine do godine.

11 I kad te uvede Gospod u zemlju hananejsku, kao što se zakleo tebi i tvojim ocima, i da ti je,

12 Odvajaćeš Gospodu šta god otvara matericu, i od stoke tvoje šta god otvara matericu, šta je muško, da bude Gospodu.

13 A svako magare prvenče otkupi jagnjetom ili jaretom; ako li ga ne bi otkupio, slomi mu vrat. Ali svakog prvenca čovečjeg između sinova svojih otkupi.

14 A kad te zapita sin tvoj unapred govoreći: Šta je to? Reci mu: Rukom krepkom izvede nas Gospod iz Misira, iz doma ropskog.

15 Jer kad otvrdnu Faraon, te nas ne hte pustiti, pobi Gospod sve prvence u zemlji misirskoj od prvenca čovečjeg do prvenca od stoke; zato prinosim Gospodu sve muško što otvara matericu, a svakog prvenca sinova svojih otkupljujem.

16 I to neka ti je kao znak na ruci i kao počeonik među očima tvojim, da nas je rukom krepkom izveo Gospod iz Misira.

17 A kad Faraon pusti narod, ne odvede ih Bog putem k zemlji filistejskoj, ako i beše kraći, jer Bog reče: Da se ne pokaje narod kad vidi rat, i ne vrati se u Misir.

18 Nego Bog zavede narod putem preko pustinje na Crvenom Moru. A vojničkim redom iziđoše sinovi Izrailjevi iz zemlje misirske.

19 I Mojsije uze kosti Josifove sa sobom; jer beše zakleo sinove Izrailjeve rekavši: Zaista će vas pohoditi Bog, a tada iznesite kosti moje odavde sa sobom.

20 Tako otišavši iz Sohota stadoše u logor u Etamu, nakraj pustinje.

21 A Gospod iđaše pred njima danju u stupu od oblaka vodeći ih putem, a noću u stupu od ognja svetleći im, da bi putovali danju i noću.

22 I ne uklanjaše ispred naroda stup od oblaka danju ni stup od ognja noću.

8131. 'Over against it you are to encamp, close to the sea' means that the influx of temptation comes from there. This is clear from the meaning of 'over against it' as close enough for it to be within view, in the internal sense close enough for the influx to come from there; from the meaning of 'encamping' as the arrangement of truth and good for undergoing temptations, as immediately above in 8130; and from the meaning of 'the Sea Suph' as the hell where falsities arising from evils prevail, dealt with in 8099. How one should understand the explanation that the influx of temptation comes from there must be stated briefly. The temptations a person undergoes are spiritual conflicts between evil spirits and good ones. The conflicts arise from and have to do with the things the person has done or thought, recorded in his memory. The evil spirits incriminate and attack, but the good ones pardon and defend. It appears as though those conflicts are within the person, for what flows into a person from the spiritual world presents itself not as something from there but as something inside him, see 741, 751, 761, 1820, 3927, 4249, 4307, 4572, 5036, 6657, 6666. A similar situation exists with spirits when they undergo temptations. When therefore they are about to undergo temptations interior things residing with them, that is, the truths and forms of good, are rearranged by the Lord into a condition which is such that by means of direct influx from Himself, and indirect influx through heaven, resistance can be offered to the falsities and evils coming from the hells, and in that way the one undergoing temptation can be protected. When a person is tempted he is also close to hell, in particular to this hell that is meant by 'the Sea Suph'; for its inhabitants are people who had a knowledge of truth but led a life of evil, and are consequently ruled by falsities arising from evil. From the hells through evil spirits come those influences which lead to the anxiety experienced by a person in temptations. From all this one may see what one should understand by the influx of temptation from hell, meant by the command the people received to encamp over against it, close to the Sea Suph.
